Though director Aashiq Abu is busy getting ready to start his new '22 Female Kottayam, with Reema Kallingal as the heroine, his next Mammootty project 'Gangster' is in the final phase of writing. Ahamed Siddhique, the actor who become popular as the character Mirash in 'Salt N Pepper' is now giving final touches to the scripts of 'The gangster'. Written jointly by Parthan Mohan, Ahamed says that he is trying to go for an original, wild and exciting script. And as the movie which was originally scheduled to start by February got shifted, he has got some more time to improvise the scenes.
Mammooty will appear as a gangster named Akbar Ali Khan in this movie which will also feature Rohini Attangadi, Parthiban, Baburaj & Suraj Venjaramoodu in the important roles. Produced in the banner of Ahead Cinema Company, this action thriller will be shot at Kasarkode and Mangalore. As per the current plans, Aashiq Abu will kick start the shoot for 'Gangster ' by the month of May.
Malayalam actors Mammootty and Lal play non-identical twins in Cobra. The shooting is currently on in Chalakudy, a small town in Kerela.
Lal has also scripted the film and is directing Mammootty for the first time. Padmapriya and Kaniha are the heroines.
Cobra is a comedy of siblings, who are very close to each other. The title of the film is a short form, in Malayalam, for Kuala Lumpur Brothers and that was where they were born.
Now, they want to associate with everything that begins with 'Ko', be it Coimbatore, Kozhikode or Kottayam!
Lalu Alex, Maniyanpillai Raju, Salim Kumar and Suresh Krishna also star in the film. The shooting will be completed in two schedules in Kochi and Bangkok.
Cobra is being produced by Anto Joseph, with camerawork by Venu and Alex Paul as music director.
Malayalam superstar Mammootty is very busy -- but not with movies. He has taken a break from acting to make preparations for the marriage of his actor son Dulquar Salmaan with A. Sufia, an architect.
"Yes, I am busy with the wedding and we are all leaving for Chennai Friday. The marriage is in Chennai on the 22nd of this month," Mammootty told IANS.
He added: "Yes, I have taken a break from my job and there will be a reception here on the 26th December and I will rejoin my work on the new year," said Mammootty known for keeping his family life away from prying eyes of media.
After giving a thought, Salmaan followed his father's footsteps and he has just finished the shoot of his first film "Second Show".
It will not be the usual 'filmy wedding'.
Sufia is the daughter of Syed Nizamuddin, who hails from north India, but is settled in Chennai.
The release of Mammootty's latest film "Venice le Vyappari" got delayed, but it is not expected to hit the theatres on the day of his son's wedding.
